Ma Tao didn't expect his sister to stop him. After being stopped, he glanced at her and still didn't intend to speak.
Although she is a robot, Ma Tao's sister really feels like she has feelings. Otherwise, Ma Tao would not have been unaware of a cold machine by his side these years. This is enough to show how powerful this machine is. As a person, just having the ability to deal with problems by yourself is absolutely incredible.
"Okay, I will accompany you wherever you go,"
When Ma Tao looked at his sister like this, he put his hand down, but he said this.
"Why?"
Ma Tao spoke.
"There is no reason. My system has been activated since my father told you everything. In the future, I must follow you and protect you."
The elder sister then looked at him with her signature smile, and even reached out to touch Ma Tao's cheek.
"oh"
Turning his head slightly, he missed his sister's touch. Ma Tao didn't intend to pursue this. Since the robot was willing to follow, let her follow. It wouldn't hurt him anyway.
Somehow, since he found out that the sister who had taken care of him and accompanied him the most for a long time was actually a robot, Ma Tao became a little indifferent, especially after knowing that everything she did was set. Ma Tao took it even more seriously. A robot is just a machine.
Ma Tao left, leaving his father to continue to stare blankly at the wooden monument in his arms, without saying a word for a long time.
The cemetery in Naduo Village is really not small. It seems that many people are buried and there are many new graves. Ma Tao walked one step at a time, and his sister followed behind. No one said anything. .
Trying his best to digest everything he knew today, Ma Tao wandered around as if he had lost his soul. Unknowingly, Ma Tao walked back to the village, but he still hadn't digested everything he heard today. The villagers on the side greeted him without noticing. It was his sister who smiled and answered on Ma Tao's behalf. When Ma Tao looked up again, he realized that he had walked back to the downstairs of his home. At this moment, he was standing in the door where his father had closed the door. In front of the repair shop.
"Are you going home? Your friends are still waiting for you."
When my sister saw Ma Tao coming here, she looked at the stairs leading to the second floor and asked.
"Are you really a robot?"
Ma Tao looked at his sister next to him who had normal skin color and even body temperature.
"What I am depends on you"
My sister's words were like a bolt of lightning, thought-provoking and profound.
"I want to go see Su Lanxi"
Ma Tao was stunned for a moment, then dropped these words and turned towards the three tanks parked near the repair shop.
People's enthusiasm is limited. At this time, there are not so many people around the chariot. Even the children have gone elsewhere to play. There are only a few people passing by in twos and threes who will look at it and say something. .
When I came to car door No. 3, I reached out and pressed the fingerprint lock, and the hatch opened with a clang.
"Can I go in and see her? You promised my sister."
After Ma Tao got into the car, he planned to close the hatch, but his sister's words made him freeze.
Looking at his sister who was standing quietly outside the car, Ma Tao nodded.
No matter who she is, whether she is a real person or a robot, the sister in front of me has taken care of him for almost twenty years. No matter what, she is his benefactor. How can she return because of her identity? machine.
"come in"
Ma Tao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. When his sister got in the car, he looked around again, and then closed the hatch of car No. 3.
"She's really beautiful"
03 In the carriage of the ambulance, my sister praised Su Lanxi at the first sight.
"She is also very kind. She has never said anything bad about anyone to me. Everything that comes out of her mouth is good news."
When Su Lanxi was mentioned, Ma Tao perked up.
Yes, I was here to bury Su Lanxi and fulfill her wish, but now...
Ma Tao looked at his sister who was standing next to the cryogenic sealed cabin with complicated eyes. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He leaned over the cold sealed cabin and said with all his tenderness, "Lanxi, my sister is here." Look, you're here. Haven't you always wanted to see my sister? Now I'm bringing my sister to see you. Have you seen it..."
It was like chatting or confiding. In Ma Tao's eyes, Su Lanxi lying in the sealed cabin was not dead at all, but just asleep.
"It's obvious that you love her very much"
My sister looked at the young and beautiful woman inside and said.
"like?"
Ma Tao thought for a while, then said with great sadness, "Now, these are just good memories."
"Let me take you to meet someone, maybe it will be helpful to you."
Sister said again.
"I don't want to see anyone now"
Ma Tao shook his head. He just wanted to stay with Lan Xi here for a while longer.
"If the person I take you to see might be able to save her, wouldn't you go there too?"
My sister's words were like a bolt from the blue.
"What did you say?"
Ma Tao suddenly straightened up and looked at his sister beside him in shock.
"I said, that person might be able to save her."
My sister repeated it very calmly.
"You said... dead people... can be resurrected?"
Ma Tao gritted his teeth and asked this sentence almost word by word.
"Little V, do you still remember the villagers who gathered at the entrance of the village when you just came back?"
My sister did not answer Ma Tao's question, but asked Ma Tao instead.
"Aren't they waiting for the research results of some weirdo? Why, the person you want to take me to see is that weirdo?"
Not long after this incident, Ma Tao recalled it and immediately remembered what the middle-aged uncle had told him before.
"Yes, do you know what research that weirdo is doing?"
My sister looked at Su Lanxi in the sealed cabin and said, then raised her head.
"Is it possible that the things he studies are related to dead people?"
Ma Tao hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly thought of this possibility.
"That strange man appeared not long after you left the village. At that time, he was unkempt and stained. He was the first to see him when he walked out of the space-time tunnel. According to him, it was because of a failed scientific experiment that caused the laboratory to collapse. After being blown up, in order to escape, he found a random coordinate to teleport. Because he verified that the village chief's grandfather's time and space tunnel could teleport, this weirdo lived here and continued his scientific research, and what he studied was genes. "Life Recovery Project"
After the sister said this, she looked at her brother, and then pointed at the refrigerated sealed cabin in front of her.
"Impossible! How can the dead be resurrected!"
Ma Tao followed her finger and looked at Su Lanxi in the sealed cabin. He said he didn't believe it, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Resurrection from the dead is so mysterious that no one has ever seen it, or it may be all fake, but Ma Tao remembered something, the Rebirth Pill! This is also the reason for Ma Tao's doubts.
"So for such a long time, his experiments have ended in failure. If he hadn't said that the experiment had achieved great results and the whole village could witness the miracle of resurrection, there wouldn't have been so many people watching. It’s a pity that his experiment failed.”
My sister finished speaking with great regret, then looked at Ma Tao who looked heavy and said, "But after all, he is the only hope."
This last sentence completely ignited the hope in Ma Tao's heart. He moved his gaze to the refrigerated sealed cabin, and Ma Tao's eyes became brighter and brighter.
That's right, Su Lanxi died because of herself. He not only owed her undying love, but also owed her life. As long as there was a little hope, even if it was an illusory hope, he would fight for it and verify it. If there is anything to grow, it must be in my hands, Ma Tao.
Thinking of this, Ma Tao turned to look at his sister and said, "Where is that mysterious weirdo? I want to see him."
Still at the east end of Naduo Village, right next to the cemetery, there was a gray building built next to the cemetery. The area was not small, it could even be said to be quite large. Ma Tao didn't remember that many buildings. There is such a place in the village, and the exterior wall of this building is not newly built. It looks like it has been there for some years. In many places, the walls have cracked nearly one meter apart, or have simply collapsed.
What is this place?
After Ma Tao was brought here by his sister, he thought about it carefully. He confirmed in his heart that neither he nor Xiao V had ever been here before, and doubts arose.
It seems that there are many secrets in Naduo Village that even Little V doesn’t know.
The house located next to the cemetery makes people feel more or less uncomfortable. I don't know if this is because of my heart. Standing at the front door of this building, the wind blowing on my body makes me feel chilly.
Could anyone really live in a place like this?
Looking at the dilapidated house, Ma Tao couldn't help but touch the semi-automatic rifle on his back. This action also startled him. He glanced at his sister who was always by his side. There was nothing unusual. Ma Tao was absolutely I am too worried. No matter what, my sister as the guardian will never harm me. Even if she does, it will be because she was deceived. Besides, this is still in Naduo Village. There is no way to hide anything. Save Su Lan. The past is the focus.
Thinking of this, Ma Tao strode into this old building that looked like it might collapse at any time.
On the way here, my sister told Ma Tao many things about the weirdo. The weirdo is called Mingqi. As his name suggests, he is obviously a human but very strange. He is an old guy with a withdrawn personality who likes to lock himself in dark places to do what he wants. During his own experiments, he dealt with all kinds of corpses all day long, slept with various potions and reagents, and barely left the village for so long. He was a typical patient with severe autism.
There is no door at the main entrance. There may have been a door before, but now all that is left is a bare door frame. Inside is a corridor. After passing the corridor, I finally saw the first door. However, this door was not locked. Ma Tao opened it as soon as he tried hard. beated.
The lighting inside is quite good, the space is large, there are many tables and bookshelves, and there are many calculation formulas and human body data diagrams posted inside the room that Ma Tao cannot understand at all. There is a wooden bed in the middle, but it is not for sleeping. Because there was a charred corpse lying on the wooden bed. Ma Tao stepped forward and took a look. The corpse had been completely carbonized. It was impossible to distinguish the facial features of male and female, and it was distorted and distorted.
Ma Tao was startled by the corpse and took two or three steps back. His arm inadvertently touched a hard object on the table behind him. When he turned around, he saw that there were many huge glass jars containing severed human limbs. .
"Why does this guy kill people?"
Seeing these bottles and cans, Ma Tao suddenly thought of Wudi Hospital, which was exactly the same as the scene here, so he subconsciously said it.
"If killing someone is also called murder, then if you say I killed someone, I will admit it."
A hoarse voice with a hint of caution came from the side, and then, a black figure slowly walked out from a place where the light could not reach.
This is an old man wearing a blue coat, with a pair of round glasses, his beard and eyebrows are completely white, the top of his head is bald and shiny, not a single hair is left, and his skin is too white. That's it. A bloodless bird, like a vampire. The most impressive thing is the old man’s two ears, which are slender and pointed, tilted to both sides, and very large, just like the elf ears in the movie, extremely unique , Needless to say, this old man is definitely that Mingqi.
"These were all dead people when they came to me. I dissected them just for better scientific research."
Old Man Mingqi walked up to Ma Tao step by step with his hands behind his back, looked at him, then looked at Ma Tao's sister, and then gently pushed back the glass jar containing human organs that Ma Tao touched with his hands. .
"Are you Mingqi?"
Ma Tao frowned and looked at the old man who suddenly appeared with some caution.
To be honest, Ma Tao was really worried about leaving Su Lanxi to such a weird old guy.
"no"
The old man rejected Ma Tao, then walked to the charred corpse, showed a strange expression and said with a smile, "I am the genius scientist Dr. Mingqi, what? Are you okay?"
A genius scientist, this scene is very ironic. Ma Tao opened his mouth, looked at the old man and then at the charred corpse, and said to himself, your experiments were all charred, you are indeed a genius.
At this time, Ma Tao was very worried about this old man Mingqi. Unless he could see this old guy resurrecting people with his own eyes, Ma Tao would never hand over Su Lanxi to him. Once this old guy takes Su Lanxi, Lan Xi did an experiment. If he became like the one lying on the wooden bed, Ma Tao would definitely collapse. Therefore, when faced with the inquiry of old man Mingqi, Ma Tao did not say a word.
Seeing that he was silent, old man Mingqi turned to look at Ma Tao's sister.
Seeing the charred corpse, my sister also hesitated.
"We want to talk to you about your research on genetic engineering and life recovery."
In the end, my sister only thought of this reply.
Dr. Mingqi looked at the two of them, then looked at his failed product, and said helplessly, "Genetic engineering and life recovery are the greatest and most mysterious doors of mankind. I am already standing here." In front of the door, but I couldn't push it open. Damn it, if all my equipment and instruments were there, I would definitely be able to find the cause of this failure. If only this body was in better condition... Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! !!”
The old man Mingqi became more and more angry as he talked, and finally he became so angry that he flew into a rage.
"Can people really come back from the dead?"
Seeing that he was so crazy and seemed to have achieved something, Ma Tao became a little confused.
Hearing his words, Dr. Mingqi suddenly paused, and then turned around suddenly. His wrinkled face, bald head, and his wide eyes were facing Ma Tao.
"Are you doubting me?"
Faced with Ma Tao's doubts, Dr. Mingqi did not explode. He just stared at him unblinkingly, which made Ma Tao panic.
Ma Tao was prepared for the fury of such a paranoid man, but there was nothing, which surprised him.
"Are you doubting my science too?"
Old Man Mingqi looked at his sister again. After looking for a while, the old man suddenly blinked as if he remembered something. Then he frowned slightly and said, "I've seen you before. I've seen you in the previous experiments. I Remember, there was a man next to you at that time, you told him that my theory is valid!!!"
Dr. Mingqi pointed at Ma Tao and looked at Ma Tao's sister expectantly, but the girl in front of him did not move.
"Okay...I'll let you take a look at my research results."
Dr. Mingqi saw that neither of them moved, and Ma Tao still looked at him with a look of disbelief. The eccentric old man felt that he had been greatly insulted, and gave them both a hard look, angrily. Turning around, he ran to a passage on the side and walked out.
People who engage in scientific research have a stubborn temper and love to get into trouble. They can't stand others questioning the scientific research they are involved in. This is even more uncomfortable than questioning him. It is tantamount to denying the value of his existence. For this kind of behavior , this kind of people are simply intolerable, and it was Ma Tao who hit him by mistake. He just wanted to confirm the possibility of resurrection from the dead, and never thought about angering this old guy.
After a while, the old man was out of breath and came back dragging something. Ma Tao took a closer look and saw that what he was dragging was actually a male corpse!
I don’t know where this old man got this corpse. There was still a lot of soil on it. It looked like it had just been dug out of the ground. It was quite sad that this old man just dragged it out.
I saw Dr. Mingqi looking at the charred corpse on the wooden bed. Without thinking about it at all, he pushed it to the ground and broke into pieces. Then the old man carried the corpse he had just dug up to the ground. above.
After finishing all this, the old man Dr. Mingqi went into the back room and pushed out a weird machine and a display computer. After connecting them with a few clicks, he raised his head with satisfaction and looked at the two in front of him. people.
Ma Tao still didn't speak, but the beating in his heart had accelerated a lot.
Is it possible that this old man really has some way to resurrect the dead? But how is this possible? ? ?
Ma Tao had already confirmed that what this old man Mingqi found was actually a corpse that had been dead for a long time. Not only was the body stiff, but it was also rotten in some places. At this time, after being tossed around by this strange old man, the corpses accumulated in the body were The stench has begun to emit. This smell cannot be emitted by a living person.
"Although this body has decomposed, there is nothing wrong with my research results. Just open your eyes and take a good look."
After saying that, the old man, Dr. Mingqi, put on leather gloves, carefully took out a machete from behind, and then chopped off one of the wrists aimed at the corpse.
With a bang, the wrist of the corpse was cut into two sections by Dr. Mingqi. The dark brown blood of the corpse immediately flowed out. Ma Tao's eyelids jumped as he looked at it, and his stomach was churning. He couldn't hold it back until he stopped. Spit it out.
A strong and disgusting stench filled the air, and the smell of corpses in the air had filled the entire nasal cavity. Dr. Mingqi, who was closest to the corpse, seemed to have lost his sense of smell, as if he could not smell this extremely disgusting stench at all. With an excited smile on his face, he turned around and took a green triangular flask container from behind, unscrewed the lid, and poured the green liquid inside into the body he had just chopped off. The wrist.
A strange and horrifying scene appeared. After the green liquid came into contact with the broken wound on the corpse's wrist, it was actually absorbed by both ends of the break in a very short period of time. Then, the corpse's broken wrist unexpectedly Many slender tentacles began to grow. They seemed to have suddenly gained life, pulling each other, blending, and constantly pulling each other together. Finally, under Ma Tao's shocked eyes, they merged into one, and the corpse's wrist Not even a single scar was left on it.
This is amazing! ! !
If it weren't for the dark brown corpse's smelly corpse blood still left on the wooden bed, Ma Tao wouldn't have believed that this wrist had been chopped off.
"What...what is this?"
Ma Tao looked at the triangular bottle in Dr. Mingqi's hand that exuded a faint green light in shock and fear.
"Gene liquid can quickly reproduce and parasitize according to the host's genes. My genetic engineering invention"
Old Man Mingqi shook the green container in his hand and said proudly.
"Genetic Engineering?"
Ma Tao repeated these four words, and then he was suddenly startled, and then asked, "What about life resuscitation? How is the progress of your life resuscitation project? Has there been any results?"
Hearing Ma Tao's words, the smile on Mingqi's face, which was shaking the bottle of genetic fluid, disappeared little by little, and finally became a little disappointed.
"Life resuscitation experiments require a large number of fresh corpses, that is, corpses that have been dead for no more than a day, because once the corpses decompose, they cannot be used for experiments. If you see intact corpses, bring them to me. The more the better."
Mingqi began to think of ways to win over the two young people in front of him for his own experiment.
"Will your experiment fail?"
This question is what Ma Tao wants to know most.
Will it fail?
Ming Qi was stunned and looked down at the pile of ashes-like debris that he had just pushed to the ground without saying anything, while Ma Tao didn't even say a word.
